Building His Future: Sabastian’s Story
Some people see a problem and work around it. Sabastian G. sees a problem and builds something to solve it.
Sabastian has always been mechanically inclined. As a member of the BCI team, he was known for building custom electronics, taking ideas apart, and putting them back together in new ways. That same curiosity and hands-on talent have shaped every step of his employment journey.
Sabastian began working at BCI Packaging under BCI’s organizational employment program in 2010. More than a decade later, he took on a new challenge by enrolling in BCI’s True Manufacturing vocational training program, and in 2023 he proudly graduated. Today, he’s a skilled member of the True Manufacturing kitting department, where he takes on several types of kitting projects with focus and care.
An inventor’s eye for safety
Sabastian doesn’t just think about the task in front of him. He thinks about the people doing it, and about the years ahead. When he was assigned to coil wire, he considered the long-term toll that repetitive motion could take on a person’s hands and wrists. His answer was to introduce a tool for the task, making the work safer for everyone who does it. It’s one of several new techniques Sabastian has helped bring to the department, and his ideas have earned him well-deserved recognition.
A teammate who builds others up
When his coworker Hakeem was just getting started, Sabastian put his building skills to work once again. Drawing on BCI’s long tradition of using jigs and supports to make work easier, he built a cardboard aid to help Hakeem learn the job. It was a small act with a big message: as BCI alumni, we succeed together.
Meeting every challenge
When Sabastian started at True, his supervisors were told he might not be able to perform certain tasks. Sabastian has written his own story instead. He has overcome many barriers along the way, and he has met every challenge his team has offered him with skill and determination. His supervisors say they are truly impressed by all he has accomplished.
In January 2025, Sabastian was named Employee of the Month, celebrating the talent, creativity, and heart he brings to work every day.
Sabastian’s journey is a powerful reminder of what happens when someone’s abilities are given room to grow. We can’t wait to see what Sabastian builds next.
